Occasionally, a company meeting becomes something more than a kickoff or a checklist. This morning was one of those moments — a chance to pause, reflect, and recognize the people who make progress possible every single day.
Today we celebrated two extraordinary professionals: Casey Boltz, marking 10 years with the company, and Casey Quattlebaum, celebrating an impressive 20-year career. In an industry as demanding and fast-changing as automotive, that kind of tenure isn’t measured by time alone — it’s earned through trust, adaptability, and consistent excellence.
Casey Boltz was our first team member dedicated entirely to Dealer Co-op, a role born from both necessity and accountability. What followed was pure Casey B: ownership, humility, and an unwavering commitment to mastering every detail of the job. She never sought the spotlight, yet earned it daily through precision, reliability, and genuine appreciation for her teammates. Her impact has been steady, meaningful, and lasting.
Casey Quattlebaum joined us as a 20-something who readily admitted she didn’t know what a media buyer was — and said it with her trademark humor. In reflecting on the early days, she described a company (and a boss) that was a little weird, fiercely creative, and relentlessly driven to succeed. What others might have found unconventional, Casey recognized as an opportunity. Over two decades, she has worn many hats, helped shape roles that didn’t previously exist, and grown right alongside the organization. Her influence reaches far beyond performance metrics; it lives in our culture.
Both Caseys echoed a theme that resonated throughout the morning: “Yesterday’s home runs don’t win today’s games.” Success requires readiness, growth, and showing up prepared — season after season.
In Strongville this morning, there was joy. Our mighty Caseys didn’t strike out — and they’re still stepping up to the plate.
